Stripped-down Looks and Big Tone!

The Schecter Riot-4 Session bass gives you big bass in a cool, stripped-down package. The aged natural look shows off a sweet swamp ash body and maple neck. If you're not into flamed, figured, hoity-toity tops and gaudy bling, then this is the bass for you. You'll love the pair of EMG pickups and the 3-band active EQ; this setup lets you conjure practically any kind of bass tone you want - and plenty of it. Top-grade components keep this bass in stable tune, for worry-free performance. To quote one of our favorite ship captains, "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts!" Check out the Schecter Riot-4 Session bass today!

A quality bass with stripped-down looks

Sometimes less is more, and the Schecter Riot-4 Session bass is no exception. The stripped-down cosmetics give this bass a no-frills look, but nothing could be further from the truth. Schecter loaded this beast with a pair of EMG pickups and an 18-volt 3-band active EQ, so you can nail every tone under the sun. The rugged hardware is ready for all the abuse you can dish out. The black hardware and fretboard inlays, played against the natural finish of the Schecter Riot-4 Session bass, give this bass a cool look that will command attention at any gig.

Humbucking EMG pickups deliver hot bass tones

This bass is ready for a workout. Schecter put a pair of EMG pickups in the Riot-4 Session bass to make sure it could handle anything that was thrown at it. The EMG 35DC ("Dual Coil") uses parallel coils and an ultra-low-noise preamp to give you premium performance with very low noise. For more midrange growl and punch, Schecter included the EMG 35J in the bridge position. Take it from Sweetwater's bass players, these EMG pickups deliver big bass tones while being extremely quiet. No matter what type of gig or session you're at, the Schecter Riot-4 Session bass has the tones you need.

Powerful 3-band EQ lets you dial in the perfect tone

When you need a specific tone for a session, there's nothing like an active EQ. The Schecter Riot-4 Session bass sports a powerful 18-volt 3-band EQ that gives you more headroom and a smoother low end. From funk to jazz to nu-metal, the Riot-4 Session's EQ has the tone-sculpting power you need in a bass.

Schecter Riot-4 Session Bass Guitar Features:

  • Comfortable contoured swamp ash body with stripped-down cosmetics
  • Active EMG pickups deliver a broad range of tone
  • Active 18-volt 3-band EQ circuit lets you dial in the perfect bass sound
  • Schecter Custom string-through-body/top-load bridge

Love this bass

Just got this bass. I got a scratch and dent model, used the savings on PLEK. it worked out very well, this bass right out of the case was comparable to a lot of my more $ basses. It sounds great, no neck dive, get a wide strap,kinda hefty. I love the large black fret markers, played too many stages where you couldn't see the fret markers.

Music background: Long time player, all styles.
